Votto highlights De La Cruz’s elite hitting, blazing speed, and remarkable durability, noting he played all 162 games last season despite a leg injury. He also points to De La Cruz’s natural baserunning instincts and growing two-way hitting ability as game-changing traits. Votto’s endorsement carries extra weight, coming from someone who watched De La Cruz evolve right before his eyes. Even with a twist—he believes Great American Ball Park’s dimensions may be holding De La Cruz back—Votto’s conviction remains clear: this young star is now firmly at the top of the shortstop hierarchy.
